This book gathers a representative sample of the relevant knowledge
related to the ecology, behavior, and conservation of birds in
urban Latin America. Latin America is one of the most biodiverse
regions of the world, yet it is still understudied. Although it
concentrates most of its population in rapidly growing cities under
considerable economic, social, and environmental disparity, the
study of the effects that urbanization has on biodiversity in Latin
America is still insufficient. Among the best-studied wildlife
groups, birds have been widely used as bioindicators in urban
areas. Going from general to specific information regarding avian
communities, populations, behavior, threats, and conservation
issues, this book describes the state-of-the-art of avian urban
ecology in the region. Such knowledge will hopefully promote the
regional consolidation of the field and encourage future
mechanistic studies that untangle the recorded patterns in order to
have the required information to bridge the gap between
evidence-based knowledge and practice in urban systems. Thus, the
information included in this document will allow scientists,
students, and even decision takers to relate with the current
knowledge and gaps related to the topic, providing perspective for
future studies and actions.
